Assisted Living Communities in Hockessin, DE

"I toured Juniper Village at Newark. I liked the rooms because they were nice, big, and spacious, and they allowed dogs. The bathroom was handicapped-accessible, so it was very big, and I wouldn't have to climb over a tub. The staff was friendly and nice. You can get the main dish they're serving, or you have a list of alternates, which I liked, but I had the main dish, shrimp, which was very good. The facility was very clean. I would change a couple of things, but I know that's a problem everywhere, so I'm not worrying about that. I like the size of the rooms. I could get a bedroom that fit my queen-sized bed with two dressers and a chair without a problem. In the living room, you could have a chair, a sofa and a TV stand. They have a lot of closet space, which some of the others didn't have."

"I visited 12 different senior living facilities before I chose Harbor Chase for my parents. I am so glad I did. The staff is genuinely caring and kind. The food is excellent and the entertainment committee goes above and beyond to ensure that the residents have a wide variety of activities and entertainment. The facility is small enough that the staff gets to know everyone and provides personalised care to the residents. I can't say enough good things about Harbor Chase!"

"My dad stayed at Sunrise Senior Living of Wilmington for respite care. It was an excellent facility. He loved it there. The staff members were all very open, helpful, and caring. The facility was very clean, very modern, and the structure was fine. There's a big list of activities, but I didn't see any of them. I know they had a men's group that my dad likes. The residents all seemed really happy. People were milling around socializing. It was really social. The size of the room was pretty. It was a twin-size bed, but there was plenty of room, the walk around the bed. His room was very bright and sunny. It was inviting."

"I toured Foulk Living. The staff was very caring. They had some nice paintings. They had indoor and outdoor activities, weather permitting. The people were friendly. She took me around on the tour. The residents seemed happy. You didn't see anybody looking downcast. They interacted with each other in the little time that I saw them. They were playing a game, and they were encouraging each other. So, it wasn't like they were strangers. The staff was very good. She was very helpful. She pointed out different things and answered questions. The place was clean. There was no smell of urine or anything. No trash lying around."

"The room are a good size. The staff was great!"

"Ivy Gables Senior Living did not have an availability in memory care. They kind of had a hybrid program in between assisted living and memory care, but they felt my dad needed a little more care than what they provided in that hybrid situation. However, if we were able to put him there, it would have been wonderful. They were professional, friendly, and informative. The facility was roomy. There's lots of areas for the residents to be able to go and move around. The room was sufficiently sized and clean. They had structured activities. It was perfect."

"My wife's aunt is going to move to the assisted living facility of Merion Gardens Assisted Living in Carneys Point. We visited the place, and it was clean, and the people were friendly. The staff was also friendly. I don't know exactly all that they offer, but they have an activities director, so I know there are activities if my wife's aunt decides she wants to participate. They have a library, a garden, and a courtyard."

"Harmony at Glasgow had no laundry and no full kitchen inside the apartments. The staff was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. I saw the menu. The facilities were very clean, well-organized, bright, and cheerful."

"Abbey Manor Assisted Living was very clean and very cozy. The staff was great. The units were very clean and organized. The rooms were like one-bedrooms and studios. They have really nice accommodations there."

"I visited the independent living community of Merrill Gardens at West Chester. The people were wonderful. The tour guide was absolutely fabulous. She clearly knew every resident that we passed. She knew them by name and was able to say hi to them. The residents that I met were also very nice. I will go back there again for a happy hour. They are all really excellent. They are a smaller facility, and you can tell the vibration there is very different. I liked the staff members that I met, and I enjoyed talking with the residents. The rooms are very nice, very clean, and they offer more than the other facility I have also visited. While that place gives you a meal a day, this place has their casual restaurant open all day. The only thing I found that I wasn't crazy about was their dinner times, but they're working to try and extend their hours. Their dinner, I believe, is from 4:30 until 6:30, and that's way too early for me. I wasn't able to eat any, but looking at the menus, the food looked very good."

"I went to St. Martha Villa. Everything was good. They had single and double rooms. You can bring your own television. There wasn't much where you could get an oven or anything like that, so it was very suitable for elderly people. The staff who gave the tour was very pleasant. They would even take the patients out to markets and stuff. They have a shuttle service where they can go to Giant Market or to other convenience stores."

"My wife and I will be moving into Chestnut Ridge. It's beautiful, and it's less rent for more stuff. They have all kinds of programs there. The facility is in tree-lined suburban Chester, it's very quiet, with no loud music, no race, and nothing down the street. It's not far from the mall and within reach of financial institutions and food supermarkets, and they have a bakery. All week long, every day they have a program for senior citizens. They give you a copy of what will be going on every day, seven days a week. They have activities, a bistro, and parking for anyone that has a vehicle. They have art classes, and drawing and coloring contests. They have programs for people that don't have cars where they can get paratransit to take them shopping, and to doctors. They have brain enhancement to help your memory. It's just totally beautiful, and I see why it's a hidden gem in Chester. We will have an apartment; the design and floor plans are beautiful."

"Our father has been a resident at Rose Tree Place for the last couple of months. We toured several care facilities before making our final decision. We chose Rose Tree Place because of the proximity to family, the cleanliness of the facility, the type of apartment, availability of services, and the incredible staff. From the minute we walked in and was greeted by Lisa and Laura, we knew this was a place that cared about their residents. The staff knows all the residents by name and takes the time to communicate and laugh with them on a daily basis. Terry and the medical staff are great at communicating medical updates. We love that Dad gets treated by the in house doctors. Karen does a great job with activities and the restaurant has very good food and yummy desserts. Rose Tree Place is the best!"

"My husband has been a resident at Eagleview Landing since June of 2023. We (all of our family and even our friends) are so pleased with the care, compassion, knowledge and friendliness of everyone at this facility. They made his adjustment a breeze. Even his neurologist commented on how well he adjusted (and I feel it because of the care he gets everyday!) Michele G. is your initial contact. Michele does an outstanding job explaining what to expect but, most importantly once you are there she still follows up to make sure your expectations are being met. You will find everyone from General Manager, Business Office, Front Desk Team, Nurses, Caregivers, Therapy team , Kitchen, Activities Coordinators, Cleaning Crew, and Maintenance Crew are always accessible and willing to help if you need anything! The Bayada Therapy team does an outstanding job. Seniority Health also takes great care of the residents. The "amenities" are great. No need to take your love one or yourself out for hairdresser, nail, Dr. Dentist and Podiatry. The food service is amazing. Great selection of meals for residents and each plate is made to order. Impressive!! Along with the great care. The facility itself is beautiful and well maintained. Very clean and does NOT smell. I have had family and friends tell me they have never seen a Long Term Care Facility so nice with so many pleasant and friendly employees. THANK YOU to everyone at Eagleview Landing for all you do!!"
